Donkey Trouble Volume III: Reckless Men Paying Debts 47, Methods of Harming People

The victim is not responsible, does not spend money, the deceased seeks himself, and the sufferer has no complaints, what kind of trick is it?

Tian Demei came, and the wine and food were also served.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Xing talked about the difficulties, especially emphasized: "Hit the snake and hit the seven inches." Zheng En's martial arts are the highest, and he is the hard backer of Xiao Cong'er's mother and daughter, and he must solve it first! Everyone's talking about good ideas!"

Liu Deguang is the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the nominal husband of the little sugar man, and he thinks that among the four people present, Lu Xing is the leader and he is the second, so he spoke first: "According to what you just said, you can't kill him openly, you can't let him die in Lujiadian, you can't get involved with us; you want him to die elsewhere, find his own death, die a nest, die so that we don't lose reason, don't take responsibility, don't spend money, Xiao Cong'er doesn't annoy us, doesn't sue us, but also says that we are good, thank us." It's too hard, isn't it?

Lu Xing glared at him and said, "It's not difficult, what am I looking for you for?

Liu Deguang didn't dare to say anything anymore.

The little sugar man thought for a long time, and then said: "It's easy, find a sick prostitute to seduce Zheng En and let him contract a venereal disease!"

"Will venereal disease die soon?" Liu Deguang was beaten by Lu Xingxun in front of Tian Demei, wanting to make up for some face, so he robbed his wife of a white sentence.

"Isn't it easy for the gentleman who cures the willow disease to be bribed? Give him some silver, so that he can cure a minor illness and a major illness to death, isn't it any trouble or nothing?" the little sugar man glanced at him and admonished.

"That kid is a vagabond, penniless, working to pay off debts, and not giving him any money; he has a problem with a full stomach, will he have the heart to do that?" Liu Deguang argued vigorously, trying to earn back a little face.

The little sugar man didn't give it to him, and said more severely: "There's no money to post it, can he not do it?"

"Then it depends on the people who cook the food!" Liu Deguang's pitiful tone was obviously begging for mercy.

"I don't believe that kittens don't eat fishy, and the eunuch cut that trick, and when he saw the palace maid, he drooled and scratched and scratched!

Since Zheng En, Lazy Worm and Xiao Cong'er's mother and daughter returned to Lu's store, Lu Xing sent someone to lurk in the back window of the opposite house to observe. Throughout the night, the door of Xiao Cong'er's house was always open, and the lights were always on. Jung Eun had always been honest and quickly fell asleep leaning back in his chair. When Zheng En woke up when the rooster crowed twice, Xiao Cong'er's mother and daughter fell asleep on a broken mat in the house. The spies arranged by Lu Xing could see Xiao Cong'er's half leg exposed under the starlight in the opposite window, but Zheng En didn't even look at it, and stood up and went to the courtyard to stand on the horse step pile and practice.

These days, although Zheng En said that he went every night, he taught Xiao Cong'er martial arts in the courtyard, and no matter how late he taught, he always went back to the oil mill to sleep. Lu Xing analyzed that Zheng En was either frigid, or a yin and yang person, or practiced some exercises that could not get close to women, and of course he was not interested in the so-called tricks of the little sugar man. However, he just didn't say anything.

Liu Deguang is a typical servant he cultivated in Lujiadian, this model can willingly dedicate his wife, and in Lujiadian reflects the authority of his local emperor. He can give him silver, give him comfort, give him some power, but he can't give him a little face. He wants Liu Deguang to have no self-confidence, always feel inferior, always be obedient in front of him, respectful, and servile.

He wants to use Liu Deguang's example to let the people of Lujiadian know: You can't buy rice and noodles with dignity and face, you can't buy good wine, you can't buy fields and houses! If any of you is not my slave and lackey, you can only eat bran and eat vegetables and suffer, you can only go to the workshop to work hard and be tired, you want dignity, you want to live with your chest high and your head up, and you want to have food and a comfortable life, so you can dream of it!

Lu Xing thought so, while reaching out from under the table to touch the little sugar man's legs, and acquiescing to her idea, he asked Tian Demei, who had been holding a goat's beard, and asked, "Mr. Tian, you have great knowledge and thick ideas, you can talk about it!"

"Well said, well said, all said very insightfully, all said reasonable! They are all high-level tricks, they are all clever strategies, Tian is ashamed of himself!" Tian Demei hugged his fists and said modestly.

Among the four people present, Tian Demei is not only the oldest, the most knowledgeable, and the most thoughtful, but also his position as a bookkeeper and a treasurer in the Luxing Group should be half a level higher than Liu Deguang, the shopkeeper of the second-level enterprise restaurant and the shopkeeper of Xiaotangren, but the identity of a person is sometimes not determined by his superficial position. The wife and son of the magistrate, and even the seven concubines and eight aunts, although they are not officials, the county officials and the chief bookkeeper also have to stammer, which is a unique unspoken rule in China. Liu Deguang is the husband of the little sugar man, who makes the greatest contribution to the master, and has a special relationship with Lu Xing. Although he is a bookkeeper and a treasurer, he has not contributed his body or wife, although he carefully looks at Lu Xing's face all day long, touches Lu Xing's thoughts, and tries to come up with ideas to please him, and his contribution is not small, but it is all the duty of a servant, and he is still an "outsider" after all.

He is familiar with poetry and books, reads history, knows his identity, does not dare to be proud, is modest and cautious towards Little Sugar Man and Liu Deguang, and is cautious, but for fear of offending, he can only make a vague statement.

The more you lift up such a person, the more he will be handled, and if you kick him like a dog, he will be obedient immediately. Lu Xing knew his character very well, and when he saw that he was insincere, he turned around and scolded: "What are you doing with humility?

"Get rid of that kid as soon as possible, there can't be a little trouble or residual problems, young master, your idea is very wise and correct, with strict thinking and effective measures. As for what method to take, Madame's plan is very clever, and for ordinary men, it is easy to catch, but as Shopkeeper Liu said, it is okay to use it on ordinary people, but it may not be able to achieve the goal when it is used on that fool's egg——"

"I'm grass! Let you come up with ideas, not let you make a summary, and let out less idle farts!" Lu Xing reprimanded.

"There is a Du Ergong in Qianshan Town, young master, have you ever heard of it?" Tian Demei Wang Gu said to him.

Lu Xing said: "The boss of the road, can you know it! His brother-in-law is Zhao Hongyin, the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and he is a celebrity in front of the Long Live Lord." He killed someone in Luoyang and ran to Qianshan Town to hide. said that it was hidden, the first year was quite honest, and in the second year, the old disease recurred, relying on a body of martial arts, befriending a group of green forest characters on Taihang Mountain, and claiming to be the king and hegemonic in Qianshan Town. Everyone knows about this for a hundred miles, and even the government knows it, but I'm afraid of offending his brother-in-law, so I just turn a blind eye!"

"The young master is really well-informed and well-informed!" Tian Demei took the opportunity to shoot.

The little sugar man interjected: "I heard that Du Ergong's wife is nicknamed 'Cactus Ball', and she is also a martial arts master, and she uses a pair of iron mallets in her hand, and she plays like a windmill, even thirty or fifty men can't resist it!"

"Madame is well-informed, worthy of a heroine!" Tian Demei seized the opportunity to praise the little sugar man. He didn't dare to bring the word 'Liu', of course, it was even more difficult to call 'Lu' second wife or something, so he could only play vaguely.

Liu Deguang also scrambled to show off his knowledge: "According to the legend on the road, there is a mysterious figure under Du Ergong, this person has superb martial arts and never shows up in front of people, and no one knows who his surname is. I only know that Du Ergong encounters a tricky person, and if he can't fight clearly, that person will shoot at night. The mysterious figure was very ruthless, always slapping human skulls like vegetable cakes. The man also had a wishful iron rod, and when he encountered a group fight, he obviously looked empty-handed, stretched out his hand and dragged it from his waist, and there was an extra soft rod six or seven feet long, the thickness of an egg, and a little like a nine-section whip, dancing like a wheel, pointing to where to hit, whoever touched a small life would be gone!"

"Shopkeeper Liu deserves to open a restaurant, he sees six roads, listens to all directions, and is very well-informed!" Tian Demei also slapped Liu Deguang.

"What do you mean by mentioning Du Ergong?" Lu Xing asked impatiently.

"What is the main method of making money for Du Ergong, have you heard of it?" Tian Demei replied as she asked, hanging Lu Xingwei's mouth.

"What do you want to say, you can finish it for me in one go, don't be like dysentery, squeeze it out little by little, it makes people uncomfortable!" Lu Xingxun said.

Tian Demei opened the conversation and said: "Du Ergong has two businesses that are the most profitable.

"One is selling snow peaches. The snow peach orchard in Qianshan Town was originally planted with the surname of Wang, Du Er Bus made a group of friends, and the peaches were not ripe to go to the scourge to make trouble, and the Wang family not only lost manpower and material resources, but also caused a lot of trouble, and was angry a lot, so he had to endure the pain and cut his love, and sold it to Du Ergong and his wife at a symbolic low price.

"When Xue Taoyuan was in the hands of Du Ergong, its value increased sharply. He said that the snow peach is a rare variety, which has been offered to the palace court, and has been eaten by the Lord and the Lady of the Palace. Originally, he was two cents a piece, but now he asks for one tael of silver, and one tael of silver is a thousand wen, isn't this a thousandfold increase? Every year when the fruit is ripe, Du Ergong will send peaches from house to house. If you don't buy it, you will say that you don't know the goods, and you won't give him face, and the weak will be beaten on the spot, and the tough one will let the king of the mountain come down to take revenge. In order to buy snow peaches, many people went bankrupt, and Du Ergong did not give up and opened another dog meat shop. ”

"How much can you make selling dog meat?" Lu Xing asked puzzled.

"He's selling dog meat, he's just using a reason to slander people. When his dog meat shop opened, he set an order for door-to-door delivery all year round: it was said to be door-to-door delivery, but in fact, it was just to cook a little dog meat on the fifteenth day of the last month of each season, take people to carry it to the village and town store, divide it into upper, middle and lower classes, go door-to-door, take dog meat for you to smell it, then calculate the compensation, let you pay the silver, and if there is no silver, you will take the cow and the pig and take the grain and rice to the account. Those who are in the upper household will ask for five taels of silver, those in the middle will ask for two taels of silver, and those in the lower household will ask for one tael of silver. Ordinary people work hard for a year, and they don't have an income of a few taels of silver, and when they smell the dog meat, they are gone, do you say that this Du Ergong is not powerful?

The same kind of people were jealous, Lu Xing heard Tian Demei say that Du Ergong was stronger than him, and his heart was already unhappy; after listening to it for a long time, he still didn't understand what it meant, so he became angry: "You old bastard! Lao Tzu is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and you have told the heroic legend of Du Ergong." What do you mean by that?"

"The idea is in the story!"

"Say!

"Du Ergong is rampant and domineering, Zheng En's stupid is nosy, pointing and poking to let him take care of it!" Tian Demei didn't dare to take it anymore, and pointed to the point in one sentence.

Lu Xing's eyes lit up and he paid attention to it. He craned his neck and listened carefully, but Tian Demei picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

"I'll tell you to be a little sharper, why are you closing your eyes? Say, tell me more details!" Lu Xing urged impatiently.

Tian Demei didn't dare to take it anymore, put down the teacup and added: "Today is August 19, and the fifteenth of next month is the time for Du Ergong to deliver dog meat to the door in autumn." Zheng En is a half-witted and nosy, and on the day Du Ergong gave him dog meat, he took him to Qianshan Town, so that he could see Du Ergong's behavior, and he would definitely be upset. As long as he makes a move with Du Ergong, we will win. Du Ergong killed him, it is Du Ergong's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with us; if we can't kill him, we will secretly end his life while he is injured, and the responsibility will still be counted on Du Ergong; if there is a lawsuit, we can also ask Du Ergong for life compensation; if he hurts Du Ergong's people, Du Ergong will seek revenge from him, and it has nothing to do with us - this is called killing people with a knife, seamless, nine out of ten, and we have no trouble in advancing and retreating!"

When Lu Xing heard this, he applauded repeatedly, and immediately decided that Tian Demei would be specifically responsible for the implementation, and formulated reward and punishment measures on the spot: 50 taels of silver for success, and half a year's salary will be deducted for bad fines.

Lu Xing immediately made a final decision, and the dispute between Little Sugar Man and Liu Deguang naturally came to an end.
